Fife man fined for producing cannabis and exposing himself

George Woods, of Glenwood Centre, appeared before Sheriff James Williamson at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court.

Woods, 46, admitted that on May 17, 2019 at his home address he produced a controlled drug, namely cannabis, a class B drug, contrary to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.

He further admitted that on September 28, last year, at Links Street and Pratt Street, Kirkcaldy, he conducted himself in a disorderly manner by entering the streets naked from the waist down with his private parts exposed and committed a breach of the peace.

The court heard the accused had produced four cannabis plants and in relation to the second charge, it heard a social work report had revealed there was no significant sexual element to Woods’ behaviour.

His defence agent said Woods was in a position to pay a financial penalty. Sheriff Williamson fined him £200 on each charge.
